Mystery Tribune / Issue Nº11

Editor’s Note Ehsan Ehsani Publisher and Managing Editor This October I had so much fun in Dallas with other mystery fans and writers during Bouchercon 2019. I met many of my buddies there and met new friends. Bouchercon and the warmth and the energy of the participants reminded me why I love this genre: yes, it’s partly because of the thrill of reading great stories. But it’s also about the great community that generates, distributes and admires these stories. I enjoyed the company of fellow mystery lovers so much in Dallas and can’t wait to see them again in Sacramento next year. One of mystery writers I met in Dallas whose work is a must-read for every mystery reader is Brendan DuBois. I’m so glad we got the opportunity to present you with yet another short story from him in this issue. From The Widow’s Walk, like all Brendan’s stories, is a cutting-edge mystery. Also in this issue, we have a rather long piece from Todd Robinson. He published the multi-award-winning crime fiction magazine Thuglit for 10 years and is a very entertaining guy. His story which has a smart #metoo angle is a noteworthy read. When it comes to non-fiction, we have an interview with Daniel Kraus who co-authored The Shape of Water with Guillermo del Toro based on the same idea for the Oscar-winning film and also great essays by Tobias Carroll and Kristen Lepionka. Lastly, I’m sure you will enjoy our art and photography and comics sections that are furnished with stunning imagery. I hope you feel as excited as me about this latest edition and I appreciate if you spread the word about us and recommend Mystery Tribune subscription to friends and family. Fictions Fiction
